By the way, I am surprised you didn't mention the signing of Maodo Lo to your Lithuanian powerhouse Zalgiris. Sure, he is not that big of a name but he is a very solid point guard and occasionally shows flashed of what he is capable of. I especially loved him in the German nationl team. His handles are top notch and he has good skills for sure.
Yeah, I actually don't like to talk about Zalgiris much. I don't have any warm feelings to this team, something similar like you about Bayern, only few times more. Especially now when they signed another Rytas academy grown player Tubelis. Such signings hits painfully...
Maodo Lo is awesome signing for Zalgiris, they're really needed player like he.
Well, I honestly don't. Even if they sign Misic, who is a step above in quality than all the others on their roster, I don't see anything to convince me about putting them among the contenders. Both Oturu and Bryant are good players, but neither is someone who will take the team to the next level. Same goes for the rest of Itoudis team.
You have good points about their roster. If we compare them with usual contenders, they're not looking that impressive. And considering how competetive Euroleague is in recent seasons, it's going to be tough
I think I already said that being title contenders in first season looks a bit too much, but chance to reach Final 4 is high.
